Storms are best when shared

Mabel’s Labels is having a contest...a BlogHer ’10 contest – and their inquiring minds want to know: "(Hypothetical) Electrical storms are going to wipe out the Internet (perhaps forever). You have one day left to write about your passions: what do you want to say to the blogosphere in 300 words or less?"

Dear Interwebs,

Let’s face it – if there’s electrical storms a’commin’, there’s a high likelihood that we’ll get hit first, and hardest, living so high on our hill here. This blog has seen our little family through a new home, a marriage, a few deaths, a LOT of births, including two of our own, not to mention all the other sometimes exciting, sometimes mundane shenanigans that go on around here.

Thanks for sharing it all with us.

This may be the last you hear from us, like, evah, so listen up! Call them passions, call them lessons, but here’s a short list of the most important information I’ve garnered in my thirtysomething years on this planet – so pay attention:

-Life it too short to drink bad wine. Or cheap beer.

-Buckle up – you and your kids, tight, every time.

-Food is never tastier than when it comes out of your own garden.

-Learn to separate your wants from your needs...you’ll end up with less “stuff,” more friends, and more love in your life. And our planet will thank you.

-Your babies will never be tinier or more innocent than they are today. Never miss a moment.

About Me

We're just a couple of folks (and a dog) who decided to leave our little apartment in Toronto's Parkdale for greener pastures (literally!) We now live in a spot that we simply refer to as Paradise. There's some sewing that happens here, some moanings and complainings, some old fashioned country goodness, a few very cute blondes, and a whole lotta love. These are our stories.
